i could disagree with them. but it felt like other people were part of my sensemaking system in an integral way there’s a healthy version where of course human beings sensemake together in groups and pairs. it didn’t feel like that

i always thought i made more sense than my parents on many things but they presented themselves as this ultimate source of discernment i didn’t have, so i always ā€œcheckedā€ with them

even when i disagreed and did my own thing anyway, it felt like they were the authority to check against https://t.co/JCzOSbaN7G

you don’t have to prove to the authority they were wrong and then get them to admit it they rarely if ever do

you just sort of wake up on day and decide you are an adult the thing that authorises you is not a *person* but a reality you can dare to inhabit and if you manage to inhabit, it’s real but beware: people have very strong reality-distortion fields

it feels so fucking selfish at first. if i think about myself, how are other people going to live? oh—they’re going to think for themselves? THAT’S how this works? https://t.co/M1EIUqPDmB

who authorises this? it’s just a completely different model entirely there’s no boss or CEO to take the final blame. the market around you decides https://t.co/zRTG79mtg5

@a_yawning_cat we created this fake world, but we forgot the underlying reality it depends on the underlying reality is that the world is not fair. there is no fairness. the sense of fairness is merely a preparedness to be outraged if something happens to us
